Biogas is an important pillar for the energy industry in aiming for a sustainable future. Biogas produced from various organic materials such as corn stalks and liquid fertilizers is a carbon-neutral fuel since it does not use fossil fuels. However, this promising energy source also has technical challenges that require cutting-edge solutions. This involves several steps where pumps play a fundamental role, and KNF is pleased to provide the ideal technology. There are multiple challenges in the transport and compression of biogas. The raw biogas emitted from bioreactors is usually fully saturated with water and contains impurities and about 40% carbon dioxide (CO2). Furthermore, this gas is flammable and must not be released into the atmosphere as it is a potent greenhouse gas. Due to these characteristics, pumps that are highly airtight, do not affect the integrity of the medium, and can easily handle various chemicals and condensate are required.

- High energy efficiency (energy-saving) - Safety - Durability From generation to conversion into electrical energy for fuel cells, KNF's pumps guarantee smooth operation in all areas. For over 20 years, KNF has been developing liquid and gas pumps. The materials and technologies of our modular pumps are precisely tailored to specific applications. Our strength lies in using our well-tested pump series as a starting point for collaborative engineering with our customers. KNF has remained a reliable partner in both research and industry worldwide for decades. Our diaphragm pumps are essential components in many hydrogen projects in laboratories and continuous production. Our flexible modular system has repeatedly proven its ability to meet new demands with very short innovation cycles.

The energy sector is undergoing significant changes due to environmental issues. This has led to an active exploration of new energy sources, such as solar and wind power, biofuels, green hydrogen, and new energy carriers like ammonia. Additionally, there are ongoing efforts to improve and optimize existing technologies and processes to eliminate unnecessary emissions and enhance efficiency. KNF plays a crucial role in both areas and takes pride in being part of the solutions to this major global challenge. - Diaphragm pumps for sustainable energy technology - Hydrogen energy - Syngas and biogas business - Improving midstream efficiency - How KNF can support energy transition

Vessels powered by LNG are revolutionizing ship propulsion with cleaner and lower emissions technology. KNF's explosion-proof diaphragm pumps play a crucial role in ensuring safety through continuous leak testing of gas control systems, complying with strict ATEX specifications and marine certifications. Gas control systems utilizing explosion-proof diaphragm pumps must continuously monitor LNG supply and the controlled combustion process of large engines to ensure the reliability and safety of the integrated gas control system. For this reason, each safety module of the gas control system used is equipped with at least two diaphragm pumps, such as the KNF N680.1.2 Ex.

KNF offers a wide range of explosion-proof diaphragm pumps designed for the use of gases and liquids in diverse and harsh environments. These pumps provide a safe solution for handling aggressive media while delivering high performance in applications where it is required. KNF has extensive experience in constructing explosion-proof pumps that meet various global standards.
